This could be a neurological problem. I suggest you see a Neurologist and have this examined. This could be the start of many different problems such as Parkinson's disease.

Are you shaking your hand like someone might if their hand has pins and needles??
It sounds a little like "obsessive compulsive disorder" although I've never heard of that symptom.
Do you have any other repetitive thoughts or compulsions? Hand washing, counting, checking things all of the time? Does you feel more relaxed after you shake?
